Meanwhile, SNAP benefits hang in the balance and Open Enrollment looms, making November a month where politics and real life collide. It's rough out here, y'all. Then, Andrew leads us into the world of gaming, where a new generation of players say video games are boosting problem-solving, friendships, and even mental health. We dig into whether those claims hold up, share our own gaming habits, and hear from listeners about the titles that have them hooked (from Hades 2 to Powerwash Simulator 2). As always, we've got the best recommendations on deck: The Aura Frame (Andrew), Blue Prince (Laura), and checking out your local Library of Things (Pam). And in this week’s After Dark: Pam makes the case for ranking your friends. Is it helpful self-awareness or emotional chaos? Let’s talk about why knowing your “besties hierarchy” might actually make you a better friend. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
